She had quitted her place of ser vice in the country, and was on a visit to a rela tion at Boston when she committed the rash act. The poor girl's name was Ann Broughton.

We do net pretend to possess much knowledge of Archi tecture, but as that noble science is so useful to man, so ho oourable to his faculties, and may be rendered so conducive towards the incitement of virtuous and heroic actions, we feel ourselves impelled by a sort of moral and patriotic duty to notice this admirable design, which is so fully deve loped in these excellent Drawinkr,s. We refer our Readers to the DrawinN themselves, for a just conception of the views of the eminent Artist by whom they wet c executed. In our opinion, the Edifice here presented is calculated for all the purposes which the learned and ingeniotts Artist comprehend ed in his de , ign. Such a stricture would he at once a Na tional/Ornament of the highest kind, and be so prominent a record of Heroism, that it would present a stimulus to noble minds in all ages : to attempt, by glorious actions of the same nature, to deserve the same national gratitude and honour. We may fairly add, in the words of the Poet, in reference to the Drawings before us:— " These are Imperial works, and worthy Kings." 91.5. 4 Selection of Parts of Buildings, Publie and Private, erected from the Designs of J.

The talents of Mr. GANDY in Architectural Drawings are of,a very superior order, and every thing from his hand must bear the stamp of excellence, but we regret that he should have thus thrown into one mass so many admirable designs, which could have afforded ample scope for a series of most instructive Drawings, if given separately. From all that we have seen of these Edifices, they are distinguished for classi- Cal taste, but it is impossible for the general spectator to have any adequate conception of any of those structures, which are here huddled altogether. We therefure hope that Mr. GANDY will adopt our suggestion, and favour the Public with a succession of drawings, each representing one of those buildings which he has here combined in what may be stiled a regular conftiirion." ;The 'Original Works, and tlfe DRAWINGS representing them, would then constitute a body of most valuable illustrations of that Science, which may be considered as one of the noblest inventions of Man, and would, in a relative degree, do honour to the respective Artists. rro be continued ) FRACAS. (We have evracted the following curious ar ticle from The Edinburgh Evening Courant of hnrsday bast, which reached town this day] : M EMORANDUNI OF FACTS RELATING To MR JOHN DOUGLAS OF GLASGOW. Mr. Donahas having come to Edinburgh to attend a meeting of Agents in a submission betwixt himself and cer tain other parties depending before Mr. CUNNINGHAME, Ad vocate, in consequence of a previous appointment of the Ar biter to that effect, communicated to Mr. Douglas, I waited on Mr. D. on Monday morning last, the 11th inst., and ac companied him to Mr. Cunningham 's, west end of George street, *here we Were occupied ;n thy business of the meet ing front 10 Wants till about hati-pa-t is at noon. At tht meeting, Mr. D. mentioned to Mr. C. and the other Gentle men, that he had come to Edinburgh with great inconve nience at this time, and that he was to return to Glasgow by the coach at four o'clock. When the business was con clnded, Mr. Douglas and I walked over to the Old Town, by the bridge, and in going along he mentioned to me, in the course of general conversation, the late unpro voked and offensive liberties that had been taken with his name and person in Blackwood's Magazine, and of Mr. Blackwood having refused, when called upon, either to make any sort of apology or to give _up the author, whom Mr. Douglas had in vain endeavoured to find out ; Mr. Douglas f arther added, that since he was in Edinburgh, at any rate he was resolved to call at Mr. Blackwood's, and apply a horse whip to his shoulders, by way of chastising him for his black guard publication, and testifying his own indignant feel ings. I believe I used the freedom to dissuade Mr. Doug las from taking any such notice of the .publication, and rather advised him to treat it with the contempt it deserved. Nothing farther passed on the subject, and we afterwards parted in the Old Town, about • one o'clock. I agreeing to dine with him at Mackay's hotel at three, and see him off in the coach. I accidentally met him, how ever, on my way home, about two, in Castle-street, with a ,riding whip in his hand, when he told me he had called at • Mr. Blackwood's shop in Princes-street, and had, as he intended, chastised him on the pavement opposite his shop door, in a pretty public manner, telling him at the same time who he was; lie added, that the only consequence he was apprehensive of, was Mr. Blackwood's obtaining a warrant against him, and preventing him getting away at four. We again parted, and at three I went to Maekay's ho tel, and found Mr. D. waiting for me. After we had dined, the waiter, a little past 4, having announced that the coach was ready, Mr. D. and I went down stairs, and the moment Mr. D. bad cleared the passage, anti was proceeding down the steps, towards the coach, Mr. Blackwood, attended by ano ther (as his second I presume), rushed across the pavement, brandishing a large bludgeon, with which he furiously attack ed 'Mr. Douglas, venting at the same time some coarse epi thets at him. Being thus unexpectedly and outrageously as saulted, Mr. Douglas, having the whip in his hand, stood upon the defensive, warded off Mr. Blackwood's blows as well its a slender whip could so heavy a bludgeon, and to all ap pearance applied it in tarn to the assailant's head and face with visible effect, for I saw Mr. B.'s upper lip bleeding, apparently from a wound inflicted with the whip. Mr. Doug las maintained his ground on the top of the stair (where he was first attacked) during the short scuffle that ensued, and which terminated by Mr. Blackwood's taking himself off, and Mr. Douglas deliberately stepping into the coach. There was no visible appearance of injury on Mr. I).'s person, and on my inquiry, he said he did not feel the least hurt. Indeed, it did not appear to me that he was hit any where else than on the whip arm. JOHN BI.AIR, Young-street, Charlotte-square. Edinburgh, Thursday, 14th May, 1818. Since writing the :shove I have seen a printed statement of Mr. Blackwood's, which I must take the liberty to contradict, in so far as it states that the bludgeon used by bins was " a Karel sapling," it having been apparently a large oak stick— or that Mr. Douglas reconnoitered him from the window of the hotel, and showed a backwardness to have it, Mr. D. to my certain knowledge having neither looked out or been at all snspicious of the attack that was meditated : and I neither heard one word of the address which Mr. Blackwood asserts he delivered to Mr. D. after the scuffle, nor saw him " led away reluctantly" by any person ; on the contrary, he ap peared to me to withdraw of himself, and to cross the street alone. I saw nothing in the conduct of Mr. Douglas which betrayed " pusillanimity." Thursday afteruoon, .1, B. NATIONAL SOCIETY FOR EDUCATING THE POOR IN 1137, PRINCIPLES OF THE. ESTABLIiHED CHURCH. We lately too briefly noticed the Meeting of the Friends to the NATIONAL SOCIETY, •vhich took place at Freemasons'-Hail, on the Ist in. stant ; but as the Institution is so excellent in it. self, and is calculated to afford important beusir s to the community at large, we return with plea sure to the subject, in order to give a more ample account of the proceedings on the occasions—. His Royal Highness the Doke of YORK took the Chair about half-past one o'clock, arid was sup. ported on his right by the Archbishop of Canter bury and the Archbishop of York, and on the left by the Bishop of London am: the Bishop of Salis. bury. Lord Harrmeby, Lord Kenyon, Lori.' Button, Lord Rolle, Lord litowt,low , and nearly ail the Reverend Prelates attended the meeting ; also, the Earl of Egremont, Sir Robert Peel, fir Jsrrtes Sattmarez, several Members ot the !louse of Com. mons, and a number of Gentry and (..:ergy of tire highest respectability. The Duke of lonx observed, that the present meeting was called for the purpose of supporting, by the benevolence of - the Public, au lustitution whose funds were nearly exhausted. Ile would not now expatiate upon the gr eat beuefi s society derived from the establishment of this Instil wino, but would leave it fur those who were, he said, more cftp-k.tc of p e t forming t he duty. The Archbishop of CANTERBURY said, ii,“l Int Making an appeal to the liberality of the Public, it was, he believed, customary, previous to calling for any relief, to give a particular statement of the manner in which the money .which hati•beell already subscribed had been disposed of Yte General Committee had thought it their duty to apply to the generosity of the Public for assist. ante in the present exhausted state of their finances, and the pleasing task had devolved upon him to lay before the Meeting en account of the application of the sums which had been sub. scribed to the Society. Since the first Establish. ment of this Institution, two separate subsctip. tions had been entered into, and the result had been a collection of an aggregate sum, amounting to 38,2081 Is. 7d. The whole of this sum, he stated, has now been expended, but in such a manner, he trusted, as to produce the most extend. sive and permanent resul;s furthering the int., portant purpose for which it was subset ith ii. Iu the Central School alone there had beer, educated, since its first institution, 4,44'2 Children, and 507 Masters and Mistresses have been there instructed in the System, for the purpose of condoeting Schools in various parts of the Kingdom. }lot tine principal expenditure of the funds has taken place in many grants for the erection of permanent Buildings for the Education of the Poor, •lind these grants to Schools in various parts of the Kingdom have amounted, on the whole, to 276. The whole number of Schools at this time united to the National Society is 1,144, in which it is ascertained, from the returns made, that not less than 165,000poorchildren are at t his time receiving the blessings of religious and moral instruction ; and, when it is considered bow great is the circua lation of Education conveyed by these Ins:it talons, ;,„‘s anosair ,sooti each individual School into the mass of society, and how many new ones annua:ly admitted to give way in their turn to others, it will readily be per ceived how much effect the lostitutions, in con nection with the National Society have already had, and must continue to have, on the moral and re• ligions state of the Nation at large. It was true, he admitted,' that there were many Charitable In• stitutions in this Metropolis, perhaps equally laudable in their objects, which required public assistance as much as the present Society ; but that, be observed, was not a suflisieot reason to wait until all the wants of these eleemosynary In stitutions were supplied. Indeed it would he end. less to wait till the claims of all other Charities had been supplied by a generous Public, and like the rustic, who waited .at the bank of a river in the expectation that the whole of the water would flow past him, and that he should be able to walk over' on dry land, this Society would he equally disappointed—at ille Labitur et labitur in mnne inbilis cauni. He trusted, therefore, that on a view of the extensive good which had already been effected by the exertions of the National So. defy, and on a feeling of the great importance of maintaining this Society for the purpose of con tinuing the good so auspiciously began, the Meet. ing would be disposed to contribute their liberal assistance towards repairing its exhaused funds, and thereby enabling it to prosecute further its excellent designs. Lord Hannowev complimented the Reverend Prelate upon the perspicuity of his statement, and said, that he now rose not to add any thing to what had already been so well said, but to propose a Resolution, which .embodied the principal statements which bad been made. — He impressed upon the Meeting the necessity of considering, that it was not merely the money which had been subscribed which had proved so beneficial to Society, but it was the encouragement Which had been given by this Institution to other Establishments to imitate its example.—(Hear, hear !)—lt should not be for. gotten what encouragement it had given by the Establishment of the Central School ; the same uniformity was preserved throughout this vast machine, which extended its benefits to all parts of the ki;ttlom. This Institution was the means (if instructing the poorer classes of the community to be good subjects of the King, and good mem bers of the Established Church.--(Hear !)—lt might be considered as one of the supporters of the Established Church, anti was the means of widely extending its influence to all parts of the kiugdom.—(-lear !)--This, he was persnaded s the meeting would feel to be a desirable object. He concluded with moving the resolution which he held in his hand.—(These Resolutions were then read.) Mr. ‘VILBERFORCE said, he came forward upon the present Occasion feeling conscious that he could add nothing to what hid been so ably sub mitte4 . to the Meeting, but merely formally to se cond Resolution. At this time of day, to argue for the importance of instructing the lower or d ers would be attempting to render a self- evident pro position more clear. There could not exist a doubt
